After Kansas State lost to Missouri by a field goal, the Wildcats dropped out of the US LBM Coaches Poll and the AP Top 25. That left only the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns in the polls following Week 3.
The future of the conference has been one of the biggest talking points across the college football landscape, and commissioner Brett Yormark has been vocal about his league’s future without OU and Texas.
As he should be. The commissioner’s No. 1 job is to promote his league. Yormark has done a really good job at revitalizing a brand that looked like a league left for dead in the aftermath of the announcement by Oklahoma and Texas of their pending departures.
At the same time, when you publicly talk about how you’ll be fine without the two blue bloods, you have to know those words will come back at you from college football fans.
And that’s what happened on Sunday after the latest polls were released. Only the Red River Rivals represented the conference, and fans let Yormark have it. Here’s how social media reacted.
